Which two functions are performed by a WLC when using split media access control (MAC)? (Choose two.)

  • packet acknowledgments and retransmissions
  • frame queuing and packet prioritization
  • beacons and probe responses
  • frame translation to other protocols
  • association and re-association of roaming clients

Explanation: Under the CAPWAP split MAC architecture, management and less time-sensitive tasks are shifted to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), which specifically performs association and re-association of roaming clients along with frame translation to other protocols, while the Access Point (AP) handles real-time MAC functions such as beacons, probe responses, and packet acknowledgments.
